The SBCC Promise

The SBCC Promise will provide any local student who completes their secondary education within the Santa Barbara Community College District with the opportunity to attend SBCC full-time for two years free of charge. The Promise, a project of the SBCC Foundation, will use privately raised funds to cover all enrollment and required fees, required books, and required supplies in an effort to remove economic barriers, making our community’s college fully accessible to all local students.

If any community can rally behind its youth and offer unfettered access to educational opportunity, it is the Santa Barbara community. Find out how you can give now.

The SBCC Promise is a project of the SBCC Foundation, established in 1976 to provide Santa Barbara City College with private philanthropic support. The foundation acts in partnership with the college and bridges the gap between available public funding and institutional need.
